CAA has signed Katty Kay, the popular author and BBC correspondent and author, and will serve as her representative for many of her ventures.
The announcement comes just days after Kay rejoined the BBC after leaving last May to join Ozy Media, an ill-fated venture alleged in November to have committed securities fraud. Kay left BBC in a bid to broaden her horizons in digital and audio media, but left Ozy soon after it came under scrutiny. “I was looking forward to working with the talented young reporters but I did not expect this!” she wrote at the time in a statement released on Twitter.
Her return to BBC is a homecoming of sorts, and she is expected to host documentaries from different points around the globe, create podcasts, write a weekly column and report news during moments of import. She has been named a U.S. special correspondent for BBC Studios.

A version of this story first appeared in the Sept. 26 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. After more than three years as President Obama's press secretary, Jay Carney, 49, joined CNN on Sept. 10. Personally recruited by CNN Worldwide president Jeff Zucker, whom Carney met during the 1990s when wife Claire Shipman was White House correspondent for NBC News, Carney says he's not thinking about a long-term TV career. Rather, the former Time magazine D.C. bureau chief is keeping his options open while sparring with the likes of John McCain. So you're not positioning yourself as nonpartisan?

In his first time at the podium, the new press secretary evaded questions, stuck to talking points, and attempted humor. Lloyd Grove reports on Robert Gibbs' replacement.
Jay Carney gave his debut performance as White House press secretary on Wednesday afternoon. In the course of a nearly hour-long briefing he provoked no international incidents, wild swings in the stock market or, for that matter, trouble with his boss.

As former Time magazine reporter Jay Carney emerges from the Office of the Vice President into the glaring spotlight of White House Press Secretary, there will undoubtedly be an effort to capitalize on the right's contempt for mainstream journalism by demonizing Carney, and his former colleagues, in one fell swoop. Right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh provided the blueprint for this effort back in 2006, when he offhandedly slammed Carney and his wife, ABC News National Correspondent Claire Shipman, as "slave-owner and husband."

In the early months of the administration, a Washington Post editorial accused Joe Biden of having "foot-in-mouth disease." New York Times columnist Gail Collins called him "Washington's most compulsive talker." And who can forget when the vice president of the United States, pushing the new stimulus package, said that no matter what the administration did "there's still a 30 percent chance we're going to get it wrong" ?

The new White House press secretary isn't a part of Obama's Chicago-centric inner circle or a Clinton alum-instead he's a D.C. stalwart whom journalists believe may be more agreeable at the podium.
The news came, fittingly enough, in the form of a leak. White House officials passed the word to reporters Thursday that President Obama has chosen Jay Carney to lead the administration's press office. Carney, now the spokesman for Vice President Joe Biden, is a former reporter himself who for years led Time magazine's Washington bureau.
